Shocking News: Every 11th American Teenage Gamer Suffers From Video Game Addiction

Amsterdam, The Netherlands – Although video game addiction is not yet officially recognized as a diagnosable disorder, there is increasing evidence that people of all ages (especially young children and teenagers), are facing very real and often severe consequences associated with compulsive use of video and computer games.

As a games developer, GameSys recently developed an infographic about video game addiction to draw people’s attention and help them recognize the importance of this problem and how real it is. In the process of making that information more accessible and transparent for readers and journalists, the company showed real facts and statistics through this easy to comprehend and strongly influential format – the infographic.

The video game addiction infographic is free to use and there is an embed code available to share it with readers, friends or family. Check it now at http://www.jeuxjeuxjeux.fr/infographic/video-game-addiction

Sebastiaan Moeys, CEO of GameSys, shares some of the facts discovered during the research: “In Korea, gaming is regarded as a real sport, 72% of US citizens (6-44) play games, 4% of US gamers spend 48+ hours per week playing games, 8.5% of American youth are addicted to games. And even FarmVille can be deadly.” These findings and more are gleaned from various sources and articles that GameSys has researched.

“Unfortunately, information about game addiction is scarce and fragmented. People tend to ignore the fact how dangerous game may become for their children if left without control.”, continues Sebastiaan, ”It is our hope that this infographic will help many parents realize just that”.
